Driveway Pavers That Boost Curb Appeal and Durability

If you think asphalt is the best driveway material, think again.

Pavers are superior to asphalt and gravel for many reasons, including:

  • Durability. Pavers can handle more weight and weather conditions.
  • Ease of repairs. Cracked or broken pavers can easily be replaced.
  • Outstanding curb appeal. Choose a paver color and design to complement your home’s exterior.
  • Little maintenance. Grab your garden hose and clean it periodically.

Concrete Pavers: The Modern Choice for Lasting Style

Sleek concrete pavers are the perfect accent for modern architecture.

Concrete is durable and commonly available in several colors and shapes.

Concrete features more uniform colors and tones, making it ideal for modern homes in Irvine.

Cobblestone and natural stone are organic and suit classic architecture.

How Paving Stones Add Texture and Sophistication to Your Property

Texture can attract the eye as much as color and pattern.

Paving stone blocks, particularly natural stone, add a touch of class.

The natural processing and formation are what give stone its texture.

Empire and Basalt are newer styles that create dimension in your Fontana patio or walkways.

Eco-Friendly Elegance: Benefits of Permeable Pavers

Often used in driveways, walkways, and low-traffic areas, permeable pavers are naturally porous.

They prevent standing water and can be made from recycled materials.

Concrete, plastic, and asphalt mix are the most popular.

If you want an eco-friendly option and live in an area that benefits from stormwater management, choose permeable pavers!

Simple Tips for Proper Paver Maintenance

Your SoCal space is immaculate, and the prep/installation was seamless.

Now it’s time to care for your Corona paved patio or Pomona walkways.

Use these tips to extend the life of your paved surfaces:

1. Steer Clear of Harsh Chemicals

Skip the caustic chemicals in favor of a mixture of dish soap and water.

Remove white efflorescence with a scrub brush and soap.

2. Seal Your Stone or Brick Pavers

Protect your pavers from the elements with a non-film-forming or film-forming sealant.

Non-film-forming products provide a matte finish.

Conversely, Film-forming sealant creates a glossy finish.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions and use the correct sealant for the paver materials.

3. Keep Weeds in Check

A layer of landscape fabric or sand can help prevent weed formation.

Pick up a weeding tool made for use between pavers for best results.
